hey everyone..ive already decided on turboing my R and at first i was going for the drag kit but ive decided to build a custom set up..im gonna go with the garret t3/t04 for my snail, spearco intercool, vortec bov, probably turbonetics westgate, blitz or greddy boost controller, etc etc....what are yalls suggestions for the setup...im on a budget so keep that in mind..with a new headgasket im gonna run around a safe 5-6psi and eventually lower compression pistons, new rings, rods, etc..let me know

 

oh boy....This is gonna get ugly.

 

hahaha and a hearty hohoho!

 

yea i know it is lol...dont try to change my mind about all motor..high compression.blah blah just give me useful ideas for the turbo..i get enough **** as it is from the local guys around here..but they will shut up once it is rolling..later

 

Hey, I'm also doing the turbo my R thing.
Just go with the Drag kit and a hondata/injector setup.
With a thicker headgasket on the stock bottom end you should be good to go for a while.
Probably 10 lbs easy.

Deep pockets needed.
Good luck, ed.

 

the drag kit is good and all but i dont know yet...custom seems alittle better for the options im looking at now...bigger turbo, etc..

 

swap to a tial wastegate, larger injectors such as 440cc, warlboro intank fuel pump and hondata and a 3in exhaust and you'll be good to go

im going drag with mine when i get some cash .

 

I don't really think you can use the words turbo and budget at the same time. You should really look into your fuel system and tuning, because without these you'lll find yourself in a world of hurt. Also, you want to go with a large turbo than you can get in the kits?

You need to decide what you goals are and then pick a turbo that is designed for what you want. I think you should go spend a good bit of time reading over in the forced induction area because once you start talking turbo, those are the people that can more than likely provide the most help.

 

you need HONDATA yes it is a must

 

yea i dont know yet...the custom set up is alittle cheaper dollar wise and plus you can get all the parts you want so there wont be any dissatisfaction.....i have months to go before i get the money so ive got time..later guys

 

how about going 2.0l with the (b18c5) block re-sleeve and some nice forged pistons

 

hey zygspeed..nice avatar

 

Have alot of money. I have done alot of work already just to get the motor/tranny ready for turbo. What ever cost you have in your head, add 3G's more because things keep coming up that you need. I also am doing a custom setup.

Garrett T3/T4 .57 a/r
SFP turbo manifold
RC440 injectors
Bosch fuel pump
Spearco Intercooler
Vortech FMU
SFP downpipe
Magnacore 8.5mm wires
NGK colder plugs
Blitz DD BOV
SS oil lines
VAFC
Tial 35mm wastegate w/ 6psi spring
ACT Xtreme PP with Organic street disk
I got my flywheel resurfaced

I think that's all I might have missed something

I will also eventually get AEM EMS, 3" DP and exhaust, testpipe, FJO wideband 02.

THE LIST GOES ON AND ON. IF MONEY IS AN ISSUE DONT DO TURBO!

-forgot to add greddy boost gauge and EGT gauge

yo nate, did you get yours together yet?
i wanna see it , maybe go for a ride to see what its like and keep m dream alive.

 

Yeah, just noticed that!

 

Pete na, I got the parts lying around now just gotta put em in. I just got the Flywheel resurfaced and ACT clutch put in. I took your advice, man that thing grips like a freakin bear. I'll let ya know. I wanna get another Philly meet together or BBQ or something as soon as I get my stuff all in. Some guy hit my R 2 weeks ago so its in the shop being fixed right now. I'll definitely give you a ride when it's complete. Looking for 240+whp at 6-7psi with stock bottom until I can get my block built.

 

awww that sucks man , did it do alot of damage?
im down for another meet. i got a guy now that will do alot better pricing on dyno time , he's in harrisburg.
anyway im looking to put down like 240ish -250 with my new setup i just finished . i just got a bit of tuning to do to get the fuel and timing down , but its very doable considering alst year this time i was pushing 230 easy. let me know , we'll hook something up. .

 

Sounds good man, Harrisburg is kinda far for me but whatever. Ya he really fucked up my drivers side. $5000 damage. It's been in the shop for 2 weeks. I am also havin my front bumper painted (for free ) to get all those chips on my front lip and bumper fixed. You still running NOS? what shot u runnin now. I remember you were runnin rich last time we dynoed.

hey dc2...how much has all that cost you...what you listed..please let me know..later bro

 

Right now I am at about $5000 not tuned.

 

i think i can make like 2500 at least this summer so thats a start but if i cant make more i might be stuck with all motor..later

 

yea im still nos , diff set up though now . now im 80 shot wet and was still rich as hell last week . i switched up some jets and need to get it ont he dyno .

 

Damn dude 80 shot! tick tick tick tick... can't wait to see it.

 

so i mean what do yall think...if i have around 3 g's by the end of the summer do you think i can get the setup going..that is without tuning and all until i get more cash..cause i really wana boost...all motor is expensive and takes for ever to get fast..im stuck lol
